Volunteer

The Tenants Union is a volunteer based organization – we need your help to protect and expand our rights!

Become A Tenants Union Counselor:

Volunteer tenant counselors are the mainstay of the Tenants Union. The increased demand on our services caused by this continuing housing crisis means we need to keep our doors open for longer. No previous experience needed, we provide comprehensive training and support.

Translation Help Needed:

Spanish, Mandarin, Cantonese, and Russian-speakers are needed for counseling and document translation. Train to become a counselor, or help us by translating our materials.

Get Involved in Our Campaigns:

If you appreciate Rent Control and pro-tenant legislation, get involved in our political and legislative campaigns to defend your rights and win new victories! We need your help getting the word out about events, calling members, doing voter and tenant outreach, and much more.

Data Entry Help Needed:

We need your help today to update our database. We’ll train you on our easy to use system. This data entry work is a key component of our eviction monitoring work.

Calling Artists and Designers:

The Tenants Union always needs your art and graphic design contributions for flyers, the website, and other materials.

Research Help Needed:

The Tenants Union conducts surveys of San Francisco rent and eviction patterns. Learn how to navigate city databases and help us help San Francisco tenants!
